Why is Draft Angle Important for Die Casting

Die casting essentially is the process of injecting molten metal into the mold cavity at high pressures. The process can help create components of accurate dimensions thus making it suitable for mass-producing critical parts for use in different purposes. While casting aluminum, numerous techniques are utilized for producing huge quantities of finished products with the […]

Hot Chamber Injection System Design and Casting Process Optimization

A hot chamber injection system is a vital requirement for optimizing the casting process. Proper design of the system is therefore important in order to correctly optimize the castings and thus obtain the desired results. In the design, the two major constituents such as the feed and the runner form the connection amidst the injection […]

Why Aluminum Bronze is Preferred in Metal Die Casting

If you are mulling over which metal alloy to select for metal casting, consider choosing aluminum bronze, which is a compound of copper and aluminum. Sometimes, other elements such as nickel, manganese, iron, and silicon are also added to aluminum bronze, but the percentage of aluminum is generally 5 to 11. The extent of aluminum […]

Engineers electroplate zinc coatings on a ferrous metal surface in order to create a barrier, which would avoid substrate corrosion. Zinc provides an affordable means of corrosion resistance for ferrous metals and is popularly used in an array of manufacturing methods. In fact, everything from bolts, nuts, and automobile parts to a plethora of consumer […]

What are Ejector Pins and Why They are Used in Aluminum Die Cast Mold Making

Ejector pins are an important aspect of designing and molding phase of die cast mold making with aluminum. Also known as knockout pins, they are attached to the movable half of the casting known as the ‘ejector half’ in order to push out the casting from the mold cavity. Once the solidified mold ejects from […]

Top 4 Best Practices Followed in 3D Printing for Industrial Applications

Many Mexican die casters provide 3D printing, which is used to deposit metal power on a component as per the geometrical patterns collected from the Computer Aided Software. Also known as additive printing, the process transforms digital files and drawings into components having a three dimensional structure. It aids making components quickly with a bare-minimum […]

5 Commonly Used Die Casting Surface Treatment

Several people who are new to the concept of die casting have a misconception that the process is completed once the die is cast. However, the reality is that most of the experienced die casters put in extra efforts and implement a number of surface treatment processes on the finished die to improve its quality […]

Types of Abrasive Blasting Technique and the Applications

Abrasive blasting refers to the process of propelling abrasive media like aluminum oxide, glass beads, steel shot, etc., upon a surface with applied force. Abrasive blasting is a key step in prepping for resurfacing and can be used for smoothing or roughening a surface, and even shaping or removing contaminants on a surface. The abrasive […]

Benefits of Using Malleable Aluminum for Manufacturing Alloy Wheels

Aluminum is one of the most preferred materials to make alloy wheels since aluminum is a malleable metal. Alloy wheels are often casted although some are forged in high-end plantations using CNC machines and carbon fiber. A specially designed mold cavity is used to cast alloy wheels and low pressure is applied to pour the […]

Outgassing in Die Casting: Causes and Prevention

Outgassing is a process by which the trapped gases are released through a powder coating in the curing process. The passing of gas through this coating can result in the formation of small holes or pinholes. The occurrence of such pinholes can cause moisture and corrosive substances to come in contact with the surface thus […]
